The hack is ideal if you’ve forgotten to cool the alcohol prior to having guests over or enjoying a Friday night beverage.
It’s believed that as the moisture in the towel evaporates it cools the bottle at a faster rate.
White wine and sparkling wine should always be chilled before serving, while red wine is best served at room temperature.
Overnight the video was viewed more than 11,000 times and many thanked Shelly for sharing the trick.
‘How am I only finding this out now?!’ one person wrote in the comments.
Another added: ‘You really are beyond saving,’
Others dubbed the tip as ‘amazing’ and many can’t wait to try it themselves.
